I have visited all places

But none to my taste

I made many encounters

Been to the temples of inspiration

But yours is the best

To eat the food of wisdom

I wandered in the deserts of loneliness,

Like a lost pilgrim looking

Desperately for the light

Then you hold my hand and take me to the Valleys of hope

There I learn the essence of love

And dwell in the mirage of eternity

Above the skies, my soul flew

To purge its melancholy

And tranquil its saddened grief

I bathed in your sacred river

And wore the garments of love

And saw the mystic face of desire

You lit the candle of my burning heart

I saw the glittering passion with eyes of my soul

The Moon illuminated the concealed curtain of my heart.

Light of love rose from the bosom of my blooming soul

From the breast of the sleepy universe

Angels intimately appear in the clear moon light

Dancing joyfully under the chorus of clouds while as lovers we breathe and merge into the oneness of the clear-sighted, mystic universe
